Hands-on Manual Therapy Techniques
Treatment Methods
Did you know that many manual therapy techniques can be performed at home? I will show you how.
These techniques are applied to affected areas to reduce pain, relax tight muscles or muscle spasms, restore range of motion, improve flexibility, and support functional movement. Examples include joint and soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, neural mobilization, scar mobilization, edema management, mobilization with movement, and muscle energy techniques.
Appropriate self-manual therapy techniques will be taught during your telehealth sessions.
EXERCISE
Individualized programs are designed to help you return to the activities you enjoy without pain or limitation.
This may include postural and body mechanics training, ergonomics instruction, core stabilization, stretching and flexibility, and range of motion exercises (active, passive, and active-assisted).
Programs may also incorporate coordination and balance training, fall prevention, gait and running mechanics, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic exercise and activity, and home or gym-based programs.
wellness
Individualized programs are available to help you maintain your progress after completing physical therapy.
These programs may include strengthening and conditioning using a variety of methods, including Pilates. Pilates can improve core stability, flexibility, and overall movement quality.
It may be incorporated during rehabilitation or as part of a long-term wellness plan. Individual sessions are available.
adjunct therapies
Adjunct techniques such as mechanical traction, home electrical stimulation, heat, and cryotherapy can be helpful for pain management, circulation, and tissue preparation for movement.
These methods can be performed independently at home, and I will guide you in their appropriate use. This allows you to build effective self-care strategies while keeping sessions focused on higher-value, skilled treatment.
Kinesio Tape
Kinesio taping can be used to support muscle function, improve movement patterns, assist circulation and lymphatic flow, and enhance posture during daily and athletic activities.
I will show you how to safely and effectively apply tape as part of your program.
